The CALI Of the Rev. Charles A. Berry Of
WOlverhampton, England, has settled yexed
question for Plymouth Church If Mr. Berry con.
cludes to accept. II seems almost proyidental
for II is pretty safe to say that there are not ten
men In the United States and England nut TO-
gether who could fll Mr.. Beecher's pulpit with
such general acceptance and receive such a
unanimous call rs the reverend gentleman they
have selected. Doctor Parker, who preceded
him, came here with q carefully prepared boom
and flourish Of trumpets; the public were led
to believe that they were about to get a new
revelation In preaching. Expectation was at
white heat, but when lie appeared the revelation
was dispellsd he was not the man for Plymouth
Church. SO after entertaining generously. they
bade him polite good-by and turned him over
to Major fond, who now has him in charge. Mr..
Berry. on the other hand, came here entirely un-
announced, quiet, modest gentleman who had
not spoken ia Plymouth pulpit an hour when he
had captured all hearts in manner that led TO a
unanimous call last week by Plymouth Church.
Some disappointed carper spoke about his being
an Englishman. What of it9 Plymouth Church
does not expect him in his pulpit to be English
or American, but Christian, and that he viii

life
The election being over the voters and the de.
feated sit down to count the cost and gain. The
Democrats have elected their entire ticket, and
they already have tn Governor; but the Repub-
lieans have solid working majority in both
branches OF the Legislature. and they hold the
Governor as II he was III vice; he cannot re.
move or appoint without their permission, SC
that in the most valuable prerogatve which the
Governor possesses, in the hands Of the Repub.
licans he is helpless as child. The richest off.
ces In the state are in the hands of his btterest
enemies and he is unable to reward his friends
Under this restraint the Governor frets and
fumes but to no purpose, for the Republicans
hold the cards. In New York the election of Mr.
Fellows, though carried through by the regular
organizations at a tremendous cost of none,
